Baqaei says pursuing justice for the assassination of former supreme leader Ali Khamenei is “a serious principle” for the Iranian government, Al Jazeera reports.

“The government has a clear duty. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is part of this process,” he has said at a news conference in Tehran.

“We will use all legal and international tools and opportunities at the international level to document their [US-Israeli] crimes and to pursue the implementation of justice,” Baqaei has added.
